On July 18, 2025, at approximately 12:15 am, Dauphin RCMP received a report of an unwanted person breaching release conditions inside a residence on William Street in Dauphin.

When officers arrived, the female resident was alone, uninjured but visibly upset and gave a description of the male suspect who was known to officers.

Officers began patrols and located the suspect, who was advised he was under arrest for breaching court-imposed conditions but fled on foot. With the use of RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) he was again located a short time later in a back alley.

Once again, the suspect was advised he was under arrest, but this time charged at the officer. A Conducted Energy Weapon (CEW) was deployed, and a short struggle ensued.  He was eventually placed in handcuffs and transported to the detachment.

Neither the officer nor the suspect was injured.

Sheldon McKinney, 33, of Dauphin has been charged with Fail to Comply with Release Order x4, Resist Peace Officer and Assault on Police Officer.

McKinney has been remanded until a later court date.

The investigation continues.
